I’ve decided to leave Medium to join Stirman, Grant, and Soren in building a new company focused around mindfulness and athletic performance.

Leaving Medium means parting ways with the most skilled and thoughtful team I have ever worked with. I’m thankful to Ev who gave me the opportunity to lead the design team and challenge me in ways I didn’t think possible.

I’m really proud of what this team has accomplished (holy shit 2.0) but couldn’t resist the opportunity to start something new. I’m joining a team of mostly ex-Medium builders and have the luxury of working with an expert in the mindfulness community.

Thank you everyone at Medium who became my family over the last few years. My shift is over, but I know Brad, Marcin, Pablo, Sasha, and Tyler can take it from here.

Like what you read? Give Brad Birdsall a round of applause.

From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.
